Synopsis
Bilked bankers, grifted gamblers and swindled spinsters: welcome to the world of 'confidence men'. One of the most infamous of all American confidence men was Joseph 'Yellow Kid' Weil. Fixed horse races, bad real-estate deals, even a money-making machine - these were just some of the tools used by the Kid and his associates to cheat people out of their money. In this captivating tell-all autobiography, he outlines each of his elaborate schemes., Bilked bankers, grifted gamblers, and swindled spinsters: welcome to the world of confidence men. You'll marvel at the elaborate schemes developed by The Yellow Kid and cry for the marks who lost it all to his ingenuity--$8,000,000 by some estimations. Fixed horse races, bad real-estate deals, even a money-making machine--all were tools of the trade for the Kid and his associates: the Swede, the Butterine Kid, the Harmony Kid, Fats Levine, and others. The Sting (1973), starring Paul Newman and based largely on the story of the Yellow Kid, is entertaining, but is no match for the real deal.

    Seller started off by incorrectly addressing my package which led to an “insufficient address” and “return to sender”.. I explained this to the seller and she said she was on vacation. I asked if she could ship the magazine to the correct address when she returned, but for some reason she refused and issued a refund 🤷
